Bilibili Gaming defeat G2 Esports to win First Stand 2026

The LPL’s Bilibili Gaming has defeated the LEC’s G2 Esports 3-1 to claim victory in First Stand 2026. The Chinese org lifted the trophy after an intense series on Sunday, March 22.

Bilibili Gaming conquer G2 to win First Stand 2026

G2, who had a perhaps unexpectedly good showing at First Stand 2026, kicked off the Grand Final with a convincing victory. Once again leveraging incredible play from mid laner Rasmus "Caps" Borregaard Winther. Caps had been a standout in the teams run through the Group Stage, and in Game 1 of the final stunned Bilibili with a 12/0/7 performance on Aurora.

However, the first game stomp seemingly lit a fire in BLG, whose top laner Chen "Bin" Zebin proceeded to put on three MVP-worthy performances.

After humbling LEC veteran Sergen "BrokenBlade" Çelik with Gwen in game two, aided by team with four global ultimates, Bilibili Gaming unlocked the key to victory. Picking the Jax in Game 3, and with his teammates playing around him Bin, with assistance from Zhuo "Knight" Ding standout Mel performance put G2 into match point.

With the tournament on the line, G2 couldn’t muster a performance to finish things out. Despite seemingly playing better than BLG the entire game, their opponent’s objective control was just too strong. BLG pushed down every tower and evaded a more dangerous fighting composition long enough to secure victory.

With the win, Bilibili Gaming take home $250,000 for their victory in just the second edition of this LoL International event. Bin, for his performance, won MVP.

BLG will head home to China with a nice break ahead of the LPL season start in April. Meanwhile, G2 will have just a one week break before the LEC resumes on March 28.
